The man was standing by the door. His cold brows instantly knit after seeing how he froze on the spot and even wrapped himself in a robe and towel like a snowman.
"Come here" he said gently, his tone not showing the slightest hint of emotion.
Ji Nuan remained unmoved in her place. She thought she had returned to the evening party, but she was actually ...
Go to buy food?
“When it happened tonight, you fell unconscious, and your body was cold as ice. Right now, you are standing in front of the window to feel the breeze of the wind. Do you want to get seriously ill?" Mo Jingshen's voice was a little heavy. "Close the window and come here."
Ji Nuan was indeed feeling a little cold. Previously, he had only thought that a breeze would help clear his mind. After seeing Mo Jingshen's gaze become even colder, he closed the window.
Walking closer, he glanced at the food he was holding. Just from the smell alone, he could tell it was some dishes that he usually enjoyed.
He raised his eyes to see Mo Jingshen looking at his robe. He didn't look as cold as before.
"You're not back at the party?" Ji Nuan cleared her throat, speaking somewhat unnaturally. "I thought…"
Mo Jingshen stretched out his hand to hold her cheek. Ji Nuan was surprised, raising her eyes to look at him.
His skin feels ice cold. He did not speak, but his cold and charming brows furrowed. Her warm palm gently rubbed her face until Ji Nuan's expression was no longer stiff. He then placed the takeaway in his other hand on the table beside him.
“One An Shuyan alone is enough to make you very angry. If I go back now, you might dare to jump down from the eighteenth floor," Mo Jingshen said quickly.
Ji Nuan: '... I haven't reached the point where I don't want my life.'
Mo Jingshen glanced at him, extending a hand to hold his chin. His cold and bright pupils looked at him suspiciously. “Aware now?”
“I just took a shower. That cleared my mind a little.” Ji Nuan tried to turn her head away but was held firmly by him. He couldn't take his eyes off.
He raised his eyes, met her. The man's eyes were rather dark and heavy. He focused on her for a long time. "How do you explain Sheng Yihan?"
Ji Nuan raised her eyelids, her tone slightly disapproving. “We don't have much relationship. He had always been Xia Tian's main physician. Every time I visit Xia Tian in the hospital, we definitely have to interact a little.”
Seeing Mo Jingshen watching him with that cold and dark gaze, he couldn't help but furrow his brows as he continued explaining, “He will soon return to the Sheng family, he'll be back, and he invited me to a party together. At first, I did not know exactly what this party was and did not plan to attend. In the end, I was still brought here due to a series of accidents ... I was afraid that something was suspicious, so I kept refusing to go in. After that ... I saw you and An Shuyan ... "
Ji Nuan's gaze floated towards him rather casually. Even if he doesn't speak, the meaning is clear.
What she meant was that she had absolutely no intention of becoming one's female escort, nor did she want to have a relationship with Sheng Yihan.
Isn't it all because of him? Otherwise, there wouldn't be much trouble today.
Understanding her angry expression of complaint, Mo Jingshen was angry and couldn't help but laugh.
The hand that pinched his chin gently caressed his skin, causing him to shiver for unexplainable reasons.
Ji Nuan's mood was initially a little low. However, after clearing his mind, he couldn't be bothered to make a fuss anymore. He sat down to get the chopsticks to bite.
"How do you know that I haven't eaten anything?" he casually asked while eating, his eyes fixed on the food in front of him. He did not see the man beside him.
“At that time, when you vomit, all that comes out is alcohol. If I don't know, how could I still be your husband?” Mo Jingshen saw she was willing to be somewhat cooperative and knew not to get angry with her own body and stomach. His voice became much softer. It was no longer as cold as ice as before.
Ji Nuan's mouth was filled with food. He paused for a moment, before tinkering with the rice with his chopsticks. She muttered in an indistinct voice, "So, you are actually aware of who you are."
Mo Jingshen's brows moved. He rubbed his head as if to reassure her and chuckled.
Hearing that she was actually laughing, Ji Nuan struggled to swallow all the food in her mouth. He then raised his head to look at her. “Mo Jingshen, even if I am more clear-minded, it does not mean I am no longer angry! You actually still dare to laugh?”
"So, now, you feel aggrieved?" He was still laughing, tapping his angry and displeased brows with his finger.
He did not feel harmed!
He's mad!
Mo Jingshen was the only legitimate successor of the Mo family. He is also the most favored successor. As long as he nodded, no one dared to hinder him from achieving everything.
Furthermore, the Mo family base had always been very stable. Even without the support of An's family, he could still be an influential figure in American Chinese business. His position could not be threatened at all. No matter how he thought about it, the relationship with the An family was just a relationship built on mutual benefits alone.
Everything was only based on Mo Jingshen's father's wishful thinking. However, from the way everyone spoke, it was as if Mo Jingshen had not married An Shuyan, it would be his disadvantage.
Which woman was not upset after hearing those words?
In order to prevent this little woman's stomach from being filled with anger even from a simple meal, Mo Jingshen sat down beside her and placed a glass of warm juice in front of her. His tone was clear and heavy as he patiently explained, "Remember my promise to you to send Secretary An back to America in a week?"
Ji Nuan choked for a moment and quickly picked up a glass of juice, drinking a mouthful before she swallowed it.
Mo Jingshen's hand gently rubbed his back. While helping him breathe, he calmly said, “The cooperation of Mo Corporation and Shine Group was originally intended to be completed in two weeks, but it was forcibly reduced to one by me. The reason I work overtime at the company for meetings and attend social events more often is also because of this.”
Ji Nuan's expression was shocked. "Is it because of me, you squeezed the work that should have been completed in two weeks into one?"
Mo Jingshen smiled. “My father did plan to hold An Shuyan back at Hai Cheng, but I was somewhat aware of the situation of the An and An Shuyan families. Tonight was a trap set for them. Every step is part of the plan. His goal was to send An Shuyan back to America successfully and to avoid any bad blood formation with the An.” family
Seeing Ji Nuan's eyes suddenly hold back a little apology, he chuckled. “However, the Mo family and the An family have had a friendship for many years. I can't let things get too acidic between the two family elders. That's also why you should witness such a scene today.”
Ji Nuan finally realized that the jealousy she was experiencing today was a big case of wrongful jealousy. She said shyly and slightly apologetically, "Tonight, it's true I didn't see much ..."
What he saw was only An Shuyan accompanying Mo Jingshen to the event as his female companion. Regardless of words or actions, it was true that Mo Jingshen and An Shuyan did not do anything intimate.
Mo Jingshen raised his hand to pinch his face filled with self-deprecation. “Are you still jealous? Still going around on your own? Still want to get angry? En?”
